He said, "more attention needs to be paid to making de mocracy work at home before we get too excited about exporting it throughout the world". Litton, who is making his third speaking appearance in Cameron in three weeks, added, "As Americans we have a great desire to export our ways of do- Ihincs throughout the world". He pointed out this was admirable but sometimes very exnensive to the taxpayers. "The best way to export democracy is to make it work at home ;nd then everyone will want it," Litton said many of the urban problems were caused by low farm prices -which force un trained farmers into the cities. He said this departure of farmers and the low income of those who remained on the farms brought about similar migrations from rural communities to the city by businessmen in these rural communities who were unable to survive econom ically, and bv rural to urban migration of those employed by these businessmen. Litton pointed out the total gross agriculture income in Clinton County for the last re portable year (1969) was $22.- 361,947.00. He said farmers only received 74 of parity during 1969.- - "If farmers of Clinton County had received 100 par ity, their gross Income would have been $30,21S.fM7.OO". He said.

He showed how an outside dollar multiplied over three times and pointed out how important such outside dollars are not only to the farmers who receive the extra money, but to the businessmen as well. Litton said this extra 8 million dollars would have multiplied to over 28 million by the time it left the county. The young congressional can didate used for purposes of illustration, a farmer who re ceived $500 more outside income from the sale of his crops. He showed how the farmer might take the $500 and hire a local carpenter to remodel part of the kitchen. The carpenter, in turn, might take his $."00 and buy a TV. The TV dealer might take the $500 and buy a new re frigerator. The appliance deal er, in turn, might take the $500 he received for the refrigerator to buy new carpeting in his home. Litton pointed out that, on the average an outside dollar multiplies 3.65 times in a rural community before leaving the community.
